So, I got this in my email today. A little phishing, but thought I'd share with folks as it seems my following is growing and hey, I have to ensure everyone stays informed. It came from Dane Frank <USPS_Shipping_Info@usps.com> with the subject "Your USPS shipment postage labels receipt".:

Now, I've changed the links so if you accidentally click on one, it won't take you anywhere, but if someone decides they want to hack these scumbags, feel free to take the leading XXX out of the address when setting up your hacking.

What I found interesting was that within 15 minutes, I'd received two of these, the other from Royce Newton at USPS.
